Timely transfer of peritoneal dialysis patients to hemodialysis improves survival rates

The Association between Interleukin 10 Gene Polymorphism -592 (A/C) and Peritoneal Transport in Patients Undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis

“…Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an effective and well-established renal replacement therapy for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) nowadays and it provides significant benefits including preservation of vascular access and better survival during the initial few years of dialysis. 1 Nevertheless, longterm success of PD depends mainly on the ability of the peritoneal membrane (PM) to provide adequate solute clearances and ultrafiltration over time. It is now well appreciated that PD patients have diversity of PM transport characteris-tics as evaluated clinically by a peritoneal equilibration test (PET) for small solute transport rate.…”

Patient and Technique Survival of Older Adults with Esrd Treated with Peritoneal Dialysis

“…Systemrelated failures are often due to lack of local PD expertise and services. Unplanned transfer from PD to HD is largely considered undesirable due to a higher risk for the patient to require hospitalization and a central venous catheter for access (23)(24)(25)(26). A large number of contemporary studies have examined the differences in risk of older adults treated with PD to transfer to in-center HD compared to younger adults (Table 3) (18,19,(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36).There is variability in the results of studies that have examined the effect of age on risk for transfer to in-center HD.…”
